We had a great time at Hidden Gem. Really enjoyed relaxing with family on the patio. Sean was great and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!
5.0
We went for a short family get-away from real life and found it at the Hidden Gem. The property is exceptionally well maintained and very comfortable. Sean is extremely responsive! There are so many restaurants in walking distance. The patio area is so relaxing, and it's a short walk to the boat dock area. The area is very quiet and cozy. We will definitely be back for another visit.
5.0
I’ve rented a lot of houses in the keys and this one is now one of my favorites. Will definitely stay again. Very clean with comfortable beds and furniture. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. Excellent patio area and grounds. Sean was fantastic to deal with! I would highly recommend Hidden Gem.

Complete package in a beautiful place.
We really liked the place,the apartment has all the utilities that are needed in a home from A to Z,everything is beautiful, quiet, comfortable, clean, with easy access from sea and land to the places we visit. Perfect mooring for boats and a good location,we enjoyed every moment of all its comforts. In short, the ideal place to spend a few days on vacation.
Another very important thing is the proximity to the Islamorada sandbar(in my opinion the best in Florida).

Excellent Accommodations!
We loved every minute of our stay at the Hidden Gem! It was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay! The place is super cute and functional! The dock was so enjoyable for sunsets! We also used a fishing guide recommended by Sean and he was fantastic! We fell in love with Islamorada and cannot wait to come
Back! Thanks so much!

Islamorada stay
The place was wonderful. Within easy walking distance of numerous restaurants/attractions but nicely secluded. Very clean and nicely appointed.
5.0
Great Place with in walking distance of plenty of restaurants.
Place was nice and clean and had more room than I expected. Centrally located in Islamorada and across the street from Islamorada Brewery. Access to the bay was also nice - we sat out every night and enjoyed the view.
Owner was very responsive to requests. I would definitely rent the property again.
Only ding...a painter came in while we were there to paint the outside of the house. Not a problem, since we were enjoying the area, but if we were going to stay around and use the outdoor space, it would have been a bit inconvenient.
5.0
Wonderful time!
Sean has a great job with the property! We had a perfect visit and can’t wait to return!

Great Summer Vacation

Family trip
Overall, great location and nice property. We stayed downstairs and could hear lots going on upstairs. The apartment could have been cleaner. All of the beds were very creaky. Master bath shower dingy. However, the kitchen was fine and living room was okay. Lighting could be better--as the lights above were a bit much even though there was a dimmer. We loved the chairs outside in front, as well as the dock area. Parking was very convenient. Sean was great.

Hidden Gem
The accommodations were what I expected, but we had a recurring roach problem while we stayed there. The property manager got someone out to spray, but those little German roaches are insidious. We have sterilized all of our bags and clothes with the hope of not bringing them home.
5.0
Fishing Fun
This is a great place to stay especially if you are looking for a quite off the path condo. Sean and Lauren greeted us on arrival and made sure that we had everything we needed. The unit is clean, well furnished and the air conditioning units keep you cool in the mid-day heat (if you happen to be inside). The grill is awesome and the modern washer and dryer make it easy to travel light. With the Publix a mile away, a brew company across the street and a dock to watch the sunsets there is no better place to stay in Islamorada!
5.0
Truly a Gem
This is a fantastic property! It is located a little off the beaten path but close to what you need and within walking distance of kayak rental, shops and the Islamorada Brewing Company. We stayed here 2 years ago (different owner) and when looking around for other places could not find anything as well located in a quite area. Sean and Lauren are fantastic and we can't wait to stay here again.

Amazing condo with a fantastic location!
I have been coming to the Keys for many years, and this is without question the best condo I've stayed in within Islamorada. Sean was an amazing host from start to finish. The unit was clean and perfect for a getaway. The patio was amazing and a short walk to the ocean. Five stars in every aspect, highly recommend!!

Fun in the Florida Keys
Great place to stay in the heart of Islamorada. Hidden Gem was just that - tucked away, great accommodations with a beautiful courtyard and fabulous access to the water. We even had a manatee visit the boat park! Sean and Lauren were wonderful hosts. Can’t wait to come back again soon!
5.0
Really nice place with great water access
The property was really clean and recently updated both inside and out. It had all the amenities we needed and a fully functional kitchen. The water access and dock area are great and there is good fishing right out in front. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Islamorada!
5.0
Great clean Islamorada location.
Great clean two bedroom apartment. You have your own boat, kayak launch. Amazing waterfront seating area. Local brewery right across the street!
